Great time, awesome mountain with tons of options from begginer to expert. Somewhat question the rental shops abilities. Learned to ski on this hill 40 years ago.. I broke a boot in the parking lot, So I went in to rent boots for the day. Im 6'7" 260# & I had my 190cm volkls with me. At that time I was told they werent sure if they could adjust my skis and that someone would be there in "20 min or so" to see if they could adjust them. Not wanting to hang out an extra 1/2 hour or so , so I rented the skiis too as it would be too much liability to adjust my bindings to your boots.Then as Im sitting down a guy walked up with Some skis that were 160cm skis stating those were for me. I laughed, and said no they arent! So he did bring back some longer skiis I believe 176cm. With all the forms & questions just to rent something to cover you, Maybe address what the customer wants so they arent skiing on skiis way too small for them. All good, thank you for a good time. Have a great year! Shawn Snow
